Table of Contents Question
How can the amount of indentation for Table of Content heading be changed? I've defined two custom headings (no problem there) I have the first setting set to level 1 and the second set to level 2, but microsoft must have a default on the amount of indentation that level 2 has and level 3 and so on. I need to adjust this level to make things in the TOC align. I have something like ABC 1000 (in the body of the paper these are defined as heading 1) 1010 (these as heading 2) 1020 ABC 2000 2010 ABC 3000 ABC 4000 4010 4020 4030 and so on...... problem is with the built-in amount of indentation, I can't get the numbers to line-up. The TOC looks like ABC 1000 1010 1020 ABC 2000 -- ckiefer |

Table of Contents Question
I have another question, however, first wanted to say 'Thanks'. Figured it was something simple. I did see the TOC modify windows, but made the mistake of assuming it was different TOCs in a document vs TOC levels. BTW, it is interesting that none of the formatting I put in the posting remained, good thing you were saavy enough to understand the issue. Here's my next hurdle. I have paragraphs that look like 1.0 xxxxxxx 1.1 xxxxxxx followed by the ABC 1000 xxxxxx In the TOC, I want to insert a tab between the 1.0 and xxxxx so the TOC titles will align. e.g. Par # Title 1.0 xxxxxx 1.1 xxxxxx ABC 1000 xxxxxx 'Summer[_5_ Wrote: ;2652385']Modify TOC1 TOC2 TOC3 etc to have tab indents as you wish (separate styles for TOCS) "ckiefer" wrote in message ...- How can the amount of indentation for Table of Content heading be changed?

In TOC1, 2, 3 etc set the hanging indent with a tab set wide enough - eg
0.7 inches or whatever works, the hanging indent look like ABC 1000 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hope this helps.

Table of Contents Question
Cool! Thanks for the help. I finally realized I had to go put tabs in the paragraphs in order to have a 'hanging' tab. Then the text would only move over so far. Had to change the page tab setting (reduce it) and finally got the text to align. -- ckiefer |

Table of Contents Question
Ordinarily, when you create a hanging indent, Word sets a tab stop at the
indent point. But this is controlled by a Compatibility option (Tools | Options | Compatibility), so you might check to make sure that "Don't add automatic tab for hanging indent" is not checked. -- Suzanne S.
